I got halfway through that before thinking "is this is a review of a new record or a fucking history lesson?" ... a couple of paragraphs later and I was like "is this a review of a new record or is this just the writer telling us how much he likes the previous one?"

The review didn't really click for me until paragraph seven:
Peers in my Devon sixth form college didn’t know what to make of them when I brought Relationship of Command into the common room
which is where I stopped reading. Especially once I noticed there were like 17 paragraphs to go. Pull your pants back up, buddy, it's just an album.

Sitting on another set of lawn chairs was Craig, a civil engineer who’d spent the morning perfecting a spill-proof beer bong. The only thing more sculpted than its arrangement of PVC pipes and valves was his body.

Amazingly, this was not written by Bob Lefsetz.
Closing paragraph:
The hippie movement is actually a great case study in the intersection of pop music and activism. Listen to Joni Mitchell’s “Woodstock.” (Yes, she famously missed performing at the festival she wrote the definitive song about.) “We are stardust, we are golden, and we’ve got to get ourselves back to the garden.” Listen to Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young calling out police in the wake of the Kent State shooting in “Ohio.” Listen to Bob Dylan skewering government warmongering on “Masters of War.” 2017’s ambitious pop crop could wield this same power if they wanted. But do they?

Before I heard you, I didn’t think it was possible for someone to front three separate bands over their career, and on top of that, release several albums as a solo artist. How could someone be that universal?Your voice sends chills to the spine. Your words stir the wheels of thought. Your melodies invent emotions most of us never even knew existed.Your songs have gotten me, as well as many other people, through some of the darkest, as well as some of the best times in our lives. You touched more people than you can imagine. And now you’ve hurt us.

I Wrote the 500th Sgt Peppers Challops Article...and that's okay!
― President Keyes, Tuesday, 30 May 2017 12:36 (seven years ago) link
It’s no surprise, then, that the Beatles’ shift toward a more respectable and artistic branding meant shedding their sex appeal. The “Sgt. Pepper” album cover features the Fab Four dressed in goofy-looking uniforms that couldn’t be better suited to repel the female gaze. Beyond the title track and “Lucy in the Sky with the Diamonds,” there’s very little on the record that makes a lady want to shake her hips on the dance floor.“Sgt. Pepper” is a good pop record, don’t get me wrong. But it’s a record I resent, because it helped cement this notion that music for girls is silly and music for men is artistically significant. It’s a notion that is doubly appalling because history shows, time and time again, that girl-tastes are the ones that are ahead of the curve.

Funny, just reading positively 4th Street and it sounds like Richard Farina is more responsible for that. Maybe Dylan was exponentially more popular though, but that seems to be a couple of years later.
